This stele (upright monument) and benches stands prominently outside the entrance to Thornton's City Hall.

The stele is engraved with the Great Seal of the United States and seals of the US Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and Air Force. The engraved text reads "Dedicated to all our men and women who have served our country in the armed forces this day November 11, 1991. Lest we forget the price of freedom."

A bench on either side of the stele allows viewers to sit and meditate on the message.
One stone bench is engraved with "this bench presented to the citizens of Thornton by Northglenn American Legion Post #22" and the other bench is engraved with "this bench presented to the citizens of Thornton by Thornton VFW Post #7945".
